I do hope you know how workers at Amazon are treated. Amazon decided that having ambulances waiting outside their warehouses to take workers to the ER was cheaper than air-conditioning the warehouses. I know docs in California reported Amazon to OSHA, but on Democracy Now! I heard a woman who wrote about working for Amazon in Ohio talking about the same heat exhaustion. This same woman described working conditions in which workers are not even allowed to go to the toilet. Amazon doesn't care because there is an endless supply of workers. This is why I have never shopped at Amazon -- Jeff Bezos is a sorry excuse for a human being. And he is in bed with the U.S. government violating people's privacy.

Channel 4 News has reported that workers have to be bused some distance into Rugeley in the UK, because local people have refused to work there because of the poor working conditions, see:-http://www.channel4.com/news/anger-at-amazon-working-conditions
I too try my utmost to avoid Amazon even if it means paying slightly more for a product!
